I'll second that, I also have a DC215 (a fancy gold one!) and it has a good
macro mode. My complaint about the camera, though, is that its flash is way
too harsh, and makes indoor 1-2m shots come out really poor. In hindsight I
would have looked for a camera which included a socket for an external
flash, that way you can choose any flash you want. Looks like I'll have to
invest in some studio lighting.
